Couldn't find a dedicated thread for general Stuff for the ELR so this is as good a place as any for this info:http://www.rossendalefreepress.co.uk/news/new-images-reveal-stunning-plans-13561530
Looks a very sympathetic building extension and will be a great boost for rawtenstall
Hopefully bumping this thread will mean it gets used in the future for ELR postings rather than a thread getting created for every new post.

Looks really good. According to the pictures, the station will also get a second platform. If so, this will also improve the ambience of the terminus.

Sorry if I've offended you. The photo has been on here for nearly 12 months and it's strange that nobody else has got a problem with it.

There are too many people in this country who aspire to be the moral guardians for all of us. My personal opinion is that all of these people suffering from 'Mary Whitehouse Syndrome' should get a life.

I've been told there are discussions taking place that would mean 34092 will become a permanent member of the ELR fleet...........

34092 used to be privately owned, I think, by a consortium of KWVR members. If this is what they all want then I guess it's a good move. The KWVR has a decent fleet of medium-size locos. Their normal timetable only needs two in steam, so I think they'll cope.

A little surprised to see on the list of events for the East Lanc's on the Manchester Model Railway Exhibition guide back cover, no steam gala until the Autumn event. Perhaps I have missed a comment elsewhere?
There is a diesel gala listed for February.
